1. Fall-Dise, Mad River Glen, Vermont
2. Everglade, Jay Peak, Vermont
3. Bou-Bou, Mont Sutton, Quebec
4. Hard Ball and Chutzpah, Sunday River, Maine
5. Straightbrook Glades, Gore Mountain, New York

A little representation from the New York mountains, but this list of them all is interesting... Only 1 trail from Jay Peak? No glades from Stowe? Interesting list since they don't state where they gathered there information.

even though its not the toughest or steepest, I love The Trials at Mount Snow because it is very long and there are so many different routes down. Also, there are some very cool "tree forts" in the woods and you can sorta ski out of bounds without it being dangerous or getting into trouble. There are also some nice jumps all the way to the left. Just my 2 cents.

Nice to see Gore on the list. They don't get enough credit IMO.

I'm glad all my favorite "glades" are not on any list....

Lists are for people that don't know where the "goods" are...

No offense, but the glades (marked) at SB are nothing to lose your mind over IMHO. Jay and Burke are better. Too much traffic at SB for those glades. Now the ones that are off the map are a different story....

I do have to admit, Everglade is one nice long glade with some nice line options, although I do think there is better at Jay.
